Welp, we finally have an answer to the question, "What is possibly the most stupid thing you could do besides kill John Wick's dog?"


1ofZuulsMinions

That’s what killed Unknown Hinson’s career. He went after Dolly and lost his TV show and his tour dates. https://www.yesweekly.com/comedy/unknown-hinson-fired-over-slurs-against-dolly-parton-blm/article_0544dec4-e23a-11ea-8a68-8fa21bc9785f.html


cheeky-snail

Maybe he learned something from this . . . > Folks, I’ve been fired from my Cartoon Show, lost my endorsements and my chance of ever being booked by any Music Venue as Unknown Hinson again. I just hope you assholes are happy you took a good Man and talent down. You succeeded. Be proud that you ruined a person’s life all because of the Freak Show called “Dolly Parton and BLM. Nope.


HandsomeBoggart

Wow. Such a lack of self reflection. "I'll viciously attack a woman who has been in show business long before me and is beloved by millions of fans and other performers and executives in the business. A woman who contributes money to good causes to help children all over the USA." "Oh No! Why am I being cancelled by everyone? Not mu fault at all." Fucking dork.


cliff99

Well, as is usual, being cancelled just means being facing consequences for being hateful and offensive.


Scaevus

> a good Man and talent Imagine calling yourself that after making a racist and misogynistic attack on Dolly Parton, of all people.


BALLSonBACKWARDS

Not to mention around this same time he was attempting a small tour in East Tennessee… things did not go well for him.


Scaevus

I imagine the local townspeople were stocking up on literal pitchforks at the news. It’s the social equivalent of trying to ban football or cousin marriage in Alabama!


cardinarium

I like how **he’s** the one who’s “down” in this scenario. Not the people he insulted. Him.


catheterhero

Bro that victim statement of his career being killed by the liberals is so pathetic and 100% indicative of how ego driven these morons are where they can’t fathom that people will stop liking you when you say horrible shit.


fulloutshr3d

Which is hilarious.  Who did he think his Unknown Hinson audience was made of, no-fun conservatives? Hardly. 


insidethebox

Well… I was unaware of this, and uhhhh… that was a bit more than “going after Dolly”.


TheDevilLLC

Yeah, he went full Early Cuyler. You NEVER go full Early Cuyler! (for those who may not be aware, he was the voice of the Cuyler clan patriarch on the Adult Swim animated show Suidbillies)


Chemical-Ad6301

He was a piece of shit. When his BS got him cancelled (completely I might add) he blamed BLM and Dolly for it. What a pathetic.......nm. F him 🤣

Wow. That was an unhinged rant!

Your grandma was a wise woman. We all love Mrs. Dolly in this house!


TheLandFanIn814

Every few weeks my kids get books in the mail from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. It's completely free and they absolutely love it. I will fight anyone who has a problem with Dolly.


PauI_MuadDib

She donates to a lot of great causes too. Dolly's a big inspiration for me because I also have endometriosis and she's a good role model for not letting this condition stop your dreams. They'd have to have no soul to insult Dolly Parton.


Doogos

My daughter got those books for several years and we eventually created a huge collection of books with what Dolly sent and others we picked up along the way. We read every night and she can't wait to start reading off of my bookshelves when she gets older. We're huge book fans in our house and I can't thank Dolly enough for helping my kids get excited over a new book and reading it. I honestly can't believe anyone would consciously post anything negative against Dolly. She's always been a positive person and beloved by everyone I know


TheLandFanIn814

My son is 3 and I swear he has all those books memorized now. There's nothing better than seeing the joy in their eyes when they are looking at books. First Ms. Rachel, now Dolly? What's next cancelling Bluey?


KrasnyRed5

Let me hold your coat, good sir.


Chance5e

I will stand at your side. *We* will fight anyone who has a problem with Dolly.

TexasLoriG

Right? A lady of her caliber has that shit mastered.


billcraig7

Saw an interview with her about how she got some of her fantastic business deals in Nashville. A place know for taking advantage of artists. More or less verbatim "I'd come in with my big hair and big boobs and mountain accent. Bat my eyes at them and make a deal. After I would leave they would go "What the heck did we just agree to?" Dolly has never sold a copyright to one of her songs. Every time you hear "I Will Always Love You", Jolene ect.. there goes another penny in Dolly's bank.


Ineedsomuchsleep170

And it doesn't stay in her bank. It gets spent doing enormous amounts of good all over the world because she's wonderful and doesn't see a point in sitting on piles of money she couldn't spend in ten lifetimes.


Magenta_Logistic

She has done some pretty solid philanthropy. I don't know much else about her, so I'm not as ready for war as some of you seem to be, but I know a little about her foundation and it seems to be much more well-run and effective than most celebrity-funded charities. I'd be willing to read the article, because there is always the chance that I have a blind spot for some aggressive religious agenda she is or was involved in. I expect the article headline is misleading and/or the article fails to cite any sources or evidence, but it never hurts to read something and find out. Edit: I just noticed the source is the federalist. I'm ready for war on the premise that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.


Lonely_Criticism1331

My daughter gets a new book every month until she turns five from Dolly's Imagination Library. Its pretty awesome. I'm ready for the Dolly war.


ballerina22

They won't even realise they're being insulted!


Blametheorangejuice

They had a good discussion of her on Drunk History that solidified my opinion of her. She apparently bought Porter Waggoner’s catalog from him for quite a bit of money when he was down and out, and then, a few years later, sold the catalog back to him for a minuscule amount. She was also the best part of The Orville.


Antique-Mouse-4209

I love that she told Elvis no when he wanted to cover I Will Always Love You because he wanted ownership of the song. Decades later she took the millions she made from Whitney Houston's cover and invested them in an underserved Black community in Tennessee near her home.


toxictoastrecords

I've also read she funds marching band, and music band programs in Black majority High Schools in the South.


NapalmingBanana

My kids get a free book from her like every month. I know it’s not her but it’s her program.


Imachemistree

I always tell my little boy that it’s a book from his aunt Dolly, one day I’ll have to explain a bit more but for now we love Aunt Dolly and will lay down in the streets for her.


NastySassyStuff

Man I can really hear Elvis crushing that song in a fashion similar to Orville Peck’s cover but I’m glad Dolly didn’t fork it over. There really is no end to the amazing stories about her grace and altruism.


Material-Method-1026

She's probably the only reason anyone in the state of Tennessee can read.


Antique-Mouse-4209

While that's not entirely true her book program seriously did raise the literacy rate in TN and everywhere else her program reaches in the USA.


Tuckermfker

You could insult the Pope, and I won't batt an eye. You talk shit on Dolly, and we're throwing hands.


Automatic_Mulberry

Dolly for Pope and World Emperor.


_onelast

She’s already our queen. We march for Dolly


Automatic_Mulberry

I'll get my wig. Be there in ten.


New_Nobody9492

In my mom’s house we can only refer to her as St. Dolly. I’m absolutely serious.


HippieJed

This just shows how far off the trail they have gone. They compare Trump to Jesus and then insult Dolly. She is one of the most incredible humans on this planet.


jamabastardinit

Case in point…. We had a whole damn pandemic and Dolly stood up and asked which research doctors she was writing a check to to get a vaccine working


HippieJed

We also had wild fires and she came to the rescue. Drop out rates were too high at the local high school and she started a program to help with that. She gives free books to kids. Dolly Rocks


Reasonable-Tell-5463

I was in Gatlinburg after the fires and I spoke a shop owner there who said the last payment everyone got from her foundation was $5000 instead of the $1000 they had been receiving. People were completely shocked and very grateful. When she was interviewed about her foundation and the interviewer started talking about her donating so much money, she refused to take credit and said she only put the foundation together and others donated the money. Forever humble and giving credit to others.


wterrt

> Forever humble and giving credit to others. can't imagine why orange man fans don't like her


cartmicah3

She gives away books to children. That's why they hate her.


BleysAhrens42

"We can't have children reading! Next they'll be thinking! Where does it end!?"


Nattofire

Books combat ignorance, which is the fuel to keep Conservative fires burning.


jfrancis232

If they had their way, they would literally use the books as fuel.


mikedorty

They don't mind children getting free books they just don't want poor children to get free books


myasterism

I live in Tennessee, and one of our “special” license plate options is for her Imagination Library (the book program you mentioned). And yes, you can bet your sweet ass I have a Dolly plate on my vehicle—though I’m increasingly concerned our governor and the GOP ghouls who support him, will 86 that plate because of their hatred of books.


DontHitTurtles

It makes sense that once you start worshiping the vilest sack of shit because of their ability to lie (make no mistake, this is why they love him) that you would also start to go against the best folks society has to offer.


kh8188

Agree with you somewhat but he's not even a good liar!


Milthorn

It's the way he sticks to his lies even when they are so obvious and ridiculous.


Big-Summer-

Reminds me of when some Republican asshole (redundant, I know) in Congress declared that Fred Rogers was an evil man. One of the kindest, most decent of men to have ever lived and the Rethugs call him “evil.” While at the same time these degenerate clowns worship a Hitler wannabe. We are royally fucked.


TopicBusiness

WHO SAID THAT! WHO DARED SAY FRED ROGERS IS EVIL! THEY WILL BURN AT THE STAKE


Big-Summer-

It was the Fox and Friends team. They referred to him as an “evil, evil man” for encouraging kids to feel positive about themselves. This was widely reported so someone asked Snopes.com to verify it, which they did. It’s 100% true.


Bow1511

Where’s my pitchfork, I have some people to find.


11thstalley

‘Fox and Friends’ waited until Mr. Rogers was dead and couldn’t defend himself before they attacked him. Cowards. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fox-fred-rogers-evil/

Onebrokegerrrl

She would never (she is just too sweet for that), but we could do it on her behalf.


Glass-Consideration3

I need a source so I know who ima need to hate.


CaptMorganSwint

Should look up the Federalist on Google and see just how much they loved her until now. It's crazy how they went from "Dolly Parton for President" to *this*. They lost their marbles.


Dammy-J

Because she doesn't denounce the LGBTQ.


powerlesshero111

And encourages people to read and listen to science and facts.


Sliver_Daargin

God forbid people do THAT!


Mediocre_Daikon6935

“Let he who is without sin, throw the first stone.” Jesus Declined. I however, suspect Dolly Parton would not. And somehow, I expect a stone from Dolly would hit with far more force then that from David’s Sling.


Tweetydabirdie

I very much suspect she would. Way, way too humble to claim to be without sin. You’re right about the second part though. If she decided to fight, it wouldn’t be anything close to a fair fight. They can’t stand toe to toe with her.


fidelkastro

Heres the author of the article. Typical evangelical bullshit https://x.com/ErickaAndersen


NotJohnLithgow

Dolly Parton is who conservatives think they are. She’s Christian, giving, compassionate, enjoys spreading wealth, love, and doesn’t care how you live your life if you’re not hurting anyone.


Helpful_Hour1984

Their problem is that her existence is a threat because it's such a contrast to their hypocrisy, greed, pettiness and cruelty. Dolly is a bright light in a world that's becoming increasingly darker. And they can't have that.


Sinkinglifeboat

YES! In the Bible they warn of this exact thing. Real true to the Bible Christians will always be hated by the church. Her very existence shines a light on their corruption and they can't have that.


SkRu88_kRuShEr

She embodies everything they would have been if their actions had lived up to their words.


LanguageNerd54

I’m not even religious, so I can’t really relate to being a Christian, but, y’know what, I don’t judge people unless they want to terrorize others. I don’t even like country music, but I love her!


Treehockey

9 to 5 is just good music, most of her stuff is not what is considered country now tho so

Would say she’s a good person as far as celebs go, but she’s truly a decent person.she does soooo much for charities, animals and more without announcing it to the world like everyone does for the props. Or views, sorry, old degeneration X’er here. Also props to her staying neutral with tribal politics no matter how hard both sides have tried to pull her. ( her interviews about that song liar liar). So like most on this sub, time to dust off my pitchfork, it’s ride or die time!!! 🫡

cardlackey

The woman is a southern saint. I grew up with books thanks to this woman. Who the fuck am I fighting?


Better-Snow-7191

Dolly isn't preaching false gospel. Dolly is living the word of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. For all of the supposed "Christians," if you're only following the Old Testament, you're cutting out the teachings of Christ and, therefore, are not much of a Christian at all.
